VIEWING ROOM / FEARS AND MONSTERS
28.07.2026
With carefully composed images showing found situations, Brussels based photographer, Sven Laurent is exploring the perception of materiality, value and legitimacy in contemporary art. Constantly oscillating between abstraction and representation, Sven’s work is inviting the viewer to question his own sense of aesthetics and the way he is looking at his environment. Taken during daily walks part of a long physical rehabilitation process, these images are referring to the notion of ‘abstract landscape', translating painterly concerns like surface, texture, and composition into intimate fragments of the urban environment.

** POEM
/
As a child, to fall asleep,
the blanket had to cover my ears,
I was afraid of thieves and monsters.
Today, I sleep with ears uncovered,
not that I’m not afraid anymore,
but I want to hear them coming.
